Pros:

Nous avons pris ce logement pour se reposer de notre voyage avant de prendre l'avion. Le décor est très original. Ils sont toujours aux petits soins. La vue sur la mer est très belle, bien s'il n'y a pas de plage. Le mieux est grand et confortable. L'emplacement est idéal si ce que vous voulez est être près de l'aéroport, pas trop loin de la ville et au calme

À deux pas de l'aéroport et de l'océan
Pros:

Le personnel est attentionné.
Le bâtiment est coloré, d'architecture kéralaise et rempli d'objets intéressants.
Face à l' océan indien.
A 5 minutes à pied du terminal 1 de l' aéroport.

Cons:

Il est à noter que bien que directement sur le bord de l'eau, il est impossible de s'y baigner. Aucune plage .

Superb location with okay facilties
Pros:

The beach is just outside the main gate of the property and airport is behind the property at a walkable distance. We arrived late night and the staff arranged tea on request which is to be appreciated. Aestetics inside the property are top notch. Gives you a feel of residing at a local home.

Cons:

The ac was leaking water, bathroom wasnt clean with tiny hair spread in both the wash basin and commode.
